...little difficulty in defeating the substitutes scoring 13 points in all to its opponents 1. The work of the University players was of a desultory nature, showing little team-play.

Regular practice for the whole squad will be held in the Arena this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The following manager candidates will report at 4.30 o'clock; Amory, Boyden, Devereux, Fullerton, Mann...
